Full Dress uniform of a Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant (standing far left), NCOs and Other Ranks of the 3rd (New Zealand) Troop of ‘D’ (South African) Squadron of the King’s Colonials Imperial Yeomanry circa 1905-06. The Regimental Quarter Master Sergeant is wearing a Second Pattern Regimental headdress badge and the Other Ranks are wearing New Zealand headdress and matching collar badges. Squadron Quarter Master Serjeant MacIntosh is the NCO with the mustache seated left of the Officer in the centre of the middle row (The Officer in command of 'C' Troop in 1902 was Captain R. S. Vaile and it could be him but he looks to be wearing a single crown shoulder rank of a Major). The two trumpeters seated in the front row are both wearing cloth trumpeter arm badges on the left upper sleeve (shown in Denis Edwards and David Langley: British Army Proficiency Badges. The Sherwood Press, Nottingham, 1984 as 156A). The Corporal Trumpeter on the left is wearing his cloth trumpeter arm badge above his two rank chevrons. The Senior NCOs are carrying swords and the Other Ranks are wearing Boer War period, 50-round Mills equipment webbing bandoliers (David Stewart collection).
